Although visible grain seems to be abhorred by many LF shooters, this is supposed to be a safe haven, thus I dare to post one of my „gets no grainier than this“ images here (as an afterthought, I...

Larry and Peter, thanks, that makes sense.

Thanks. Multicoating seems to be an option, indeed. I just came across this:

But then, coating should not affect presence or absence of Newton rings...

I am aware that anti Newton glass should display some roughness, however, neither with naked eye, nor with a 10x loupe am I able to discern any roughening. However, I do not get any Newton rings at...

Although, by comparison, my own setup is quite rudimentary (see image below), I venture to add my 2 cents:

1) By substituting my standard glass with two strips of high quality museum glass cut to...

Since a minor medical condition currently precludes my trying out the newly acquired LF gear outdoors, I am bent on clearing my backlog, scanning some autumnal 35 mm negatives. The grain of HP5 in...

:cool: First of all, I am interested in the practical application, i.e. going out into the field to take some pictures! But then, I have the dangerous habit of digging to the roots of any complex...

This is why, in my original post. I wrote „tilting the lens and/or back“ ;)


Well, it took two thousand years and people like Gauss, Bolyai and Lobatschewskij to solve the riddle of Euklid‘s...

1. This was fun as well as instructive! Thanks.
2. Suitable picture to demonstrate the effect of a combination of tilt/shift on the position of the plane of focus
3. Although I will dearly miss my...

By the way, one wonders, whether we should not properly speak of the "Carpentier-Scheimpflug" condition. Although Scheimpflug significantly expanded and generalized the concept, the principle, in a...

Thanks for both replies!

@ Pere Casal: So this would be the case in some of the „pseudo liliput“ images of city vistas that one can sometimes find on the net, where a narrow band of focus (a line...

Please bear with me on this question which may be inconsequential or due to a misunderstanding. However, I am puzzled by it and I did nor find a straigtforward answer in the books & documents...

Reinhold: Impressive (the entire portfolio).

Kind regards

The app‘s behaviour

Thus, it seems a...

Unfortunately, changing film format and/or focal length seems to be a bit of a hit and miss affair. Most often, changing the value does not result in any change in the preview image, which is a bit...

It is a very useful app, in principle. However, I do not seem to be able to make the „spot meter“ function work. On tapping within the preview, the square appears, but no change in exposure or...

Thank you for the kind replies and the warm welcome!

The joy of the Linhof, I guess, will always have to wait for some serious lugging around to be performed first ;)

The only thing that might...

Hi!

I am yet on the verge of entering the intricate world of LF, and I am looking foreward to it. I have read some of the articles on this site and have just begun to browse some of the threads.
